Suspended tent and rain guard apparatus

A suspended tent and rain guard apparatus comprising:

• a. a personnel compartment comprising an upper rectangular elongated generally horizontal roof, a lower rectangular elongated floor generally coplanar with said roof, and a plurality of said side walls connecting said upper roof and said floor;
• b. a pair of upper load lines attached respectively to two opposite and parallel sides of said roof and parallel with the longitudinal axis of said roof, each upper load line having attachment means at its opposite end portions or suspendly supporting at least a portion of said roof and said personnel compartment against gravitational forces;
• c. a pair of lower load line floor supporting members attached respectively to opposite end portions of said floor and extending in directions away from said floor during operations, said lower load lines being generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of said floor, and said roof during operation;
• d. spreader means provided at each end portion of said floor member for laterally stressing said floor when said personnel compartment is suspended by said upper and said lower load lines;
• and
• e. rain fly means above said roof and attaching to said roof at least in part to said roof at its periphery for bracing said personnel compartment against said lateral movement with respect to its longitudinal axis, said rain fly means having parabolic load carrying end portions, each of said end portions associated with a pair of tensile peg anchors for applying tensile force at least in part in a lateral direction to said fly means as said parabolic load carrying end portions.
